I am so sorry for your loss.I am sure that all of his family and friends will miss him dearly.Our prayers are with you.
I was unable to attend calling hours, but wanted to express my sympathy in his passing. I was very sad to hear of his death. He was one of my first boyfriends in grade school and was always such a sweet
person. Although I only saw him a few times since we graduated, he always seemed to maintain that same demeanor that I remembered from school. May the pain for his family fade to fond memories, of which I am sure there are many.

To The Rodgers Family:
I am truly sorry for the loss of your love one. It is times like these, hearts are filled with grief and pain. But, please find comfort in God’s promise found in the Bible at John chapter 5, verses 28&29. It reads: ” Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”
You have my heartfelt condolence.
